Hey folks, I'm beginning to check out Seattle Pacific University as a prospective school. However, I'm a bit uneasy about their tuition fees. Does anyone have an outline of the tuition costs? Additionally, what kind of scholarships or aid is available?
Hi there, sure I can pull those numbers for you. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the tuition at Seattle Pacific University is approximately $39,492, excluding expenses such as room and board, books, and personal expenses.
Seattle Pacific University offers a variety of scholarships and financial aid options. They award merit-based scholarships which are based solely on academic performance. The amounts vary but the highest is their Faith for the Future Merit Scholarship, awarding up to $21,000 annually. The university also offers talent scholarships to students who show exceptional talent in theatre, visual arts, music, or athletics.
For need-based aid, you will have to fill out the FAFSA to be considered for federal grants and loans. The Student Aid Index (SAI) obtained from the FAFSA will determine your eligibility.
Additionally, outside scholarships are a great option. CollegeVine has resources available to help with this, and your high school's counseling office may also have advice.
While scholarships and grants are a great way to offset costs, remember to look at all parts of your financial aid packages, including student loans, when you're calculating the net price of attendance.
Hope this provides you with a good starting point. It's always a good idea to reach out directly to the university's financial aid office for more specific information too. They can help you understand the nuances of the financial aid process at Seattle Pacific University.
